Earlier today I created a post entitled Voter ID? We Don’ Need No Steekin’ Voter ID. A reader karlhungus rightfully pointed out, it should have been called Badgers? Badgers? We don’t need no steekin Badgers… because that is way fucking funnier and clever and shit than what I wrote. This has bothered me all day.
So I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my close but no cigar post title and, to make it up to you, here’s that honey badger video.
Also. Wolverines! Badgers!

Ladies and gentleman, we hope you found this evening’s feature both informative and entertaining.
Narration was by Sir David Attenborough.
Except this way we got both jokes, and a badger video. So it all works out in the end. That’s life after all, sometimes you’re so badger good.
Gleekout spoiler alert – Honey Badger is Sue Sylvester’s new nickname for Will Schuster’s ex, one of three of the ‘lamest henchmen ever’ that she’s recruiting to destroy New Directions.
Three hours ago I hadn’t heard of this critter, and now… (maybe they’re the missing link, the third step that comes right before ’4. Profit!’)

One thing that makes you wonder is why the “party of God and family values” needs to cheat, lie, bully, coerce and steal to win elections.
Is it me or does he have the same comb-over as Donald Trump?
As much as I’d like to take credit…

That video made my morning.
The cheating lying and stealing is why they need God. That way, it’s “sin” rather than just being an asshole, and as long as it’s followed by confession and absolution the cycle can go on in perpetuity. Of course then you have libertarians who just made being an asshole the religion, but that’s another story.
“libertarians who just made being an asshole the religion, but that’s another story.”
Heheheh. So accurate, so funny.
Wha-OH! The honey badger (or ratel) is not native to North America, and is not even a real badger.
Furthermore, Wolverines!
Since comments are closed on the SF Thread, Part Two, I’m forced to interrupt the badger game here to issue two (2) identical Springtime Pucker-ups to PJEvans and Daverz for actually finding “The Chestnut Beads” listed, and the author’s name too. Smack! Smeerp!
It’s fascinating that this same writer, Jane Roberts, became the author, or conduit if you prefer (I’m sure she would have), of the Seth books. I’ve never read them, but my favorite aunt, who died some months ago in her 80s, was quite fascinated by them back in the day, belonged to a study group, etc. IIRC, my aunt was at that time also getting a Master’s in English literature, with a thesis on William Blake. Some people will always be open to, or sympathetic to, the visionary approach.
My sister is a big fan of Jane Roberts and the Seth books. I read them back in the 70s and reread her novel The Continuing Education of Oversoul Seven which is related to the Seth work. She is also an internist, a specialist in a couple of fields.
That honey badger narration was priceless.
Jebuz, TBogg, it’s like you’re crashing after going all blogger-Scarface on the killa “Guns of Testosterone“.
Buck up cowboy. You’re a somewhat popular blogger!
Go look at that picture of Tim Tebow crying. That’ll cheer you up!
Robert Rouark wrote a book called “The Honey Badger” in which he claimed it was the most feared animal in Africa because when threatened by any large animal, it goes straight for the testicles of the attacker and chews them off, disregarding all counterattack.
I sure wouldn’t mess with one!
